About Pangsapuri Kelisa Emas

Pangsapuri Kelisa Emas is listed in our directory as a flat, one of the most common types of strata housing in Penang.

Every unit in a strata building can differ in condition, layout and renovation. It is worth looking closely at individual listings rather than relying on a general description of the building.

Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before committing, ask the agent or the building management to confirm the tenure and the type of title. If you are buying, check that the strata title has been issued and that the seller's name matches the records. Ask about the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund, and whether there are any arrears on the unit. Find out which facilities are available and how well they are kept, as well as the parking arrangements. Always view the unit in person and look for signs of leaks, damp, cracked tiles, worn wiring and low water pressure. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully. Agree on the deposit, the length of the tenancy and any furniture or appliances included before you sign.
